Azure panama hat

Hello everyone, what are you up to ? I got back to work, therefore this post is making me a bit nostalgic...even if it happened only a few days ago, I know the beautiful feeling of being on holidays fades away pretty quickly !. Yes, it was only last week when I was in this wonderful place, where the sea meets the sky, and was enjoying the colors, the perfumes and the food of the beautiful Nerano coast.

This long, colorful strapless dress had been waiting in my closet for a while, just to be worn in a place like this. I love its colors, the print reminds me of a Missoni print. It's perfect for hot, sunny days, for feeling a bit boho chic and for being a tourist !.

I decided to wear my brand new panama hat, an original ecuadorian hat I have found in a nice shop in Sorrento, the brand is ecua-andino, I found out they have a website that is totally worth visiting !. I fell in love with this azure color and with the quality of the hat, very lightweight and handwoven in Ecuador. A nice hat protected me from too much sun and gave a special touch to the whole look. I matched an azure necklace, an old one bought at H&M I still love wearing. A few statement necklaces are a must have in my luggage, I find them so useful to play with looks !.

I was wearing my Amaranti rafia wedges and Balenciaga City bag, to be both chic and comfy ! We spent the morning walking on the beach, laughing and enjoying the view, then we headed to our favorite restaurant, "Lo Scoglio", we go there everytime because we are so in love with the cooking and for the place, really romantic, with a terrace on the sea, easy to reach also from the boats.

This day was truly perfect and very fun and I will keep it in my memories. Another thing to remember is that hubby liked my maxi dress look, and it's pretty unusual since he doesn't love maxi skirts or dresses as much as I do ! Do you like to wear maxi dresses as well ? And do you own a panama hat ?.
